Before ordering
- Match the concave tool head to the rivet head diameter. A 6.5mm, 9mm, or 12mm setter should sit around the dome without flattening the crown.
- Choose a long punch when the rivet is inside a deep trunk, box corner, or recessed panel. Choose a short punch when the work area is flat and easy to reach.
- Use the setter with a firm anvil or backing block so the rivet post rolls cleanly instead of bending sideways.
- Test on scrap leather, wood, or sample hardware before setting rivets on the finished bag, case, or trunk.
- Do not use a flat punch on domed rivets when the visible rounded head needs to stay polished.
- For production work, keep one matched setter for each rivet head size to avoid mixed installation marks.
